[Hokage] Secrets of the Fathers [Fourth Generation Center]

March 3, Konoha’s 6th anniversary

country of fire, leaves

General Staff Office

11:21pm

"What did you say?" Minister of Intelligence Nara Shikaku almost couldn't help but grab the Hokage's collar, but the Fourth Hokage was still sitting calmly in the position of Chief of Staff Yamanaka Haiichi, flipping through documents.

"The third individual battle test is cancelled." Naruto repeated, "That's what I think about it."

The chief of staff, who had been robbed of his desk and chair, sat on a brand new leather sofa against the wall, sighing unaccustomedly.Seeing that Shikaku didn't answer, he had no choice but to speak, "But yesterday Morino Ihiki and Anko had announced that the examination room had been decorated, and observers from various countries had also been notified of what should be announced. If you plan to change your mind now, I will give you the speech. It’s written.”

The Hokage sighed, put down the document, and began to draw boring circles on the table with his hand, "There is no need for another fight. Otherwise, let them go back this year."

"That's enough, right?" Yamanaka Haiichi looked at the wayward Hokage who kept his head down and couldn't hold back his anger.

"I always feel like there will be trouble tomorrow." But the Hokage continued to draw circles with his head lowered.

"Who doesn't know there will be trouble tomorrow? I have been planning for so long just waiting for trouble to happen tomorrow. Besides, it will be tomorrow soon." Nara Shikaku looked at his watch and suppressed the desire to yawn.He felt that his Hokage had been too busy recently and his strings were so tight that his nerves were so weak that he couldn't use his brain very well. "Go and take a rest, Minato."

"But." Minato finally raised his head and stopped talking.

"But what is it?" Lujiu looked at Minato's bloodshot eyes and sighed, "I'm begging you, okay, you're just sleepy, go to sleep, there's really nothing to worry about, aren't you still guessing until now? Orochimaru is not allowed to do what he wants. He can do whatever he likes. The soldiers will block the water and cover up the earth. How can he really turn the world upside down? Think about it for yourself. Now the ANBU and Gen are guarding the Suna Ninja and the Sound Ninja. They are all allowed in and out, and they can be killed no matter what they come out. So even if Konoha sent out more people, the guards were empty, giving Orochimaru a chance to successfully create a riot, but after the chaos, no one responded. Can he accomplish whatever he wants with these few people at his disposal?"

"That's right, Minato." Haiichi received Shikaku's wink and pursued the victory, "Even if you think about it a little more, Orochimaru's attack on Konoha is just to divert the tiger away from the mountain. What he wants to do is actually elsewhere, but besides the capital, where else are we involved? As for the relationship, we have already taken over the country's leader. He killed a few useless nobles and a lot of poor innocent civilians. The worst is to destroy the country's capital. What can we do now to maintain the normal operation of the center of the Fire Country? It’s really the capital of the country.”

"But."

Nara Shikaku looked at the Hokage who started to be stunned after saying two words and scratched his head. He hoped that his Hokage was really too tired recently.But when they exchanged glances with Haiyi just now, they were able to confirm that neither of them misread the sadness in the Hokage's eyes.Where is the desolation coming from? Maybe their adults really thought of something important, but it's hard to explain clearly.

Haiyi looked at Shikaku, who was also starting to be stunned, and decided that he should ask, "The reason."

"What reason?" Namikaze Minato replied subconsciously.

"What's your reason?"

Minato opened his mouth, but suddenly felt that it didn't matter anymore, because he really didn't have a reason that was important enough to say.What do you want him to say? When he was taking a nap, he suddenly remembered some disgusting words Orochimaru said to him 14 years ago. He felt that Orochimaru might not have anything big to do, but just watching Konoha develop too much. Fortunately, his sound ninja will never be surpassed in a few lifetimes, so he is envious, jealous and hates and insists on adding some obstacles.

"Their important family heirs will not understand how people like you and me study, train and go on missions in order to fill their stomachs a little and be discovered by those big shots alive; they Nor do they understand what kind of life and fate the people behind them face on the cruel front line in order to ensure that the so-called Konoha seedlings thrive. The same injuries and the same tiredness, why do some people There is a need for protection and rescue, while others can only go to the battlefield with wounds still oozing blood and serve as cannon fodder."

It's a good thing that those crappy things can't be remembered. Once they are brought up, no one will understand what happened.It's long past the age to just believe whatever is said.However, there are many people in Konoha nowadays who believe whatever they say.

Why didn't he speak again? Yamanaka Hai sighed and said, "Tell me why the Chunin Exams have to be ended immediately and the third individual battle has been cancelled."

"Oh, Orochimaru." Minato rubbed his eyes, "Sorry, my mind is indeed a little confused. By the way, Kazekage, do you have any confidence whether that guy is alive or dead now?"

Yamanaka Haiichi continued to sigh, okay, the Hokage finally admitted that he was too stressed, "You also emphasized in the last meeting that it doesn't matter who he is, as long as he appears as the Kazekage, he is the Kazekage."

That's why it's a big problem.Minato continued to rub his eyes, still secretly worried.Is Orochimaru's little test really a test? Maybe this is the ultimate killer move.If Orochimaru really killed the Kazekage and took on the Kazekage's skin as he said, Konoha really couldn't help what he wanted to do.Kazekage can kill at will, but he can't, so he has to ensure everyone's safety in Konoha.The Kazekage wanted to say something, give some decisions and orders to Sunagakure, and Konoha couldn't stop him.Orochimaru cannot be threatened by Sunagakure and Wind Country.So, just in case

Nakayama Haiyi no longer wanted to sigh when facing the Hokage who was rubbing his eyes endlessly. He dug into his pocket and took out a handkerchief and handed it over, "Stop rubbing it, it will swell with bacteria. It won't be enough to cover the bloodshot eyes tomorrow." It’s easy.”

Minato finally nodded and took the handkerchief.

Nara Shikaku looked at the Hokage who still looked a bit wrong, and could only say, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. Even if you suddenly don't have confidence in yourself, please believe us, okay, your comrades are not useless." . Go and rest peacefully, or I will call a medical class for you and you will definitely fall asleep after a shot of stabilization."

"No need." Minato glanced at his subordinate.

"It's for use." The subordinate glanced back.

"Bang bang." This was when someone knocked on the door suddenly. The frightened office owner, who was thinking hard about trying to enlighten the Hokage, suddenly gasped, "

Enter. "

The door of the office opened, not an uninvited medical class, but a woman wearing an old-fashioned Jounin uniform with long black hair.

Nara Shikaku looked up, "What are you doing here, Uchiha Mikoto."

"Jounin Uchiha Mikoto is the Acting Chief of Security." Mikoto frowned and glanced at the three men in the office who looked strange, "I seem to have disturbed everyone's meeting."

No one spoke.

"That means I didn't disturb you." Mikoto smiled and walked towards the Hokage, who was looking down at the documents again, gently.

"Ah, Sister Mikoto." Looking at the smiling Mikoto who came to him, the Hokage felt a little guilty, "I just suddenly have something that I need to discuss with Haiichi, and I happened to meet Shikaku."

"Okay, Hokage-sama, I understand, so you have finished discussing it now. Or is there anyone else you want to meet?" Mikoto's voice was gentle and elegant.

But the Hokage felt a little chilly all over, "No, Mikoto-san, I've finished talking."

"Is it"

"Yes."

"Okay. Now it's my turn to have something to do." Uchiha Mikoto clapped her hands and called, "Itachi, you can come in and check the Hokage, then go back and report to the guards, and close the door."

"Yes, Mom." Itachi looked at his Hokage, who nodded to him, so Itachi quickly left and closed the door. He found that he could finally see the atmosphere. Every time his mother wanted to scold his father or the family The elders among them seemed to have the same tone now.

Seeing his obviously relieved son go out obediently, the acting security officer spoke again, "Look at each of you, Minato-kun. I heard that you seem to be in a bad mood."

"No, it's nothing." The Hokage quickly put down the document and smiled.

The acting head of security nodded and said nothing. She looked directly into the Hokage's eyes, as if she was preparing to look until he stopped laughing.

"Okay, Mikoto, we're just having another small meeting." Yamanaka Haiichi took out a cigarette and lit it. As a subordinate, he had to take the initiative to help his boss out of trouble.

"Small meeting, of course it's no problem." Mikoto ignored the owner of the office. She continued to smile and look at the Hokage who smiled bitterly, "But, Minato-kun, please give me some notice next time you want to have a small meeting." Can you call your guards? Or, given your status, it would be more disrespectful to just send someone to call whoever you want to see."

"It's late at night, everyone has something to do, and everyone has a rest. I'll just say a few words to Haiyi, so there's no need to mobilize troops." The Hokage blinked, "Ahem, and"

"Flying here and there seems to be more convenient for you, right?" Mikoto sighed, "But can you think more about your guards and security department? Please don't disappear casually again. Especially, don't be in the presence of everyone. Everyone thought you had fallen asleep and then suddenly disappeared, okay? This situation is too easy for people to think in a bad direction. You can tell yourself, if you are a guard on duty, you are not anxious when encountering this kind of thing, as long as it is normal. , but at this juncture, if something really happens, how can you put your guards in such a bad mood? Are you forcing the children who respect and love you so much to commit suicide as an apology?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't think too much today. I will never run out without saying hello next time." After hearing this, the Hokage sat up straight and apologized solemnly.Of course, if you can ignore the two smiling men's faces in the background, it might look more formal.

"Why are you laughing? And you two." Mikoto, who breathed a sigh of relief, finally turned her attention to the other two, "Why are you still doing the same tasks as before after so many years? There is no efficiency at all. Working hours during the day Can't we solve the problem in one go and keep working until the middle of the night every day?"

"This." My good subordinate Haiichi also sneered, "Ah, Mikoto, it's not what you think. If you make a mistake here, there will be unnecessary casualties. So, it's always good to say a few more words."

"Okay, I admit that I have been a housewife for a long time, but you really don't think too much about the mission of the undead. As a Konoha ninja, you must have the consciousness to die to defend your homeland. Even your mother-in-law and mother-in-law Everything has been discussed, but it still depends on whether the opponent will listen to you. You think, can the enemy listen to you? You are a bunch of idiots."

"Yes, yes. Mikoto-san's style is still the same." Minato suddenly relaxed as he watched Mikoto, who had finally transformed from a virtuous and virtuous Uchiha lady into a bloody and violent Konoha kunoichi.

However, Mikoto won't give in easily when she comes out once in a while, "Also, Minato, what's the matter with you? We haven't seen you for only a few months, and you've lost so much weight."

"Ha, Mikoto-san, thank you for your concern." Minato glanced at Mikoto's tight belt and pouted, "But men's figures are different from women's."

Uchiha Mikoto followed Minato's gaze and instantly understood his oblique joke. She restrained her itchy fingers and muttered silently, don't let him change the subject. He was just changing the subject on purpose, okay, "Minato."

"Yeah" Naruto raised his chin and blinked.

"Since you follow Qina and call me sister, then I am your sister. So, hurry up and get rid of Orochimaru. Then." Mikoto stretched out her hand, pointed to her former juniors gently, and nodded one by one, "Don't say goodbye yet. You are too busy watching my Fugaku’s jokes. You, you, and you all need a complete and detailed health check-up. I will break the legs of anyone who dares to slip away this time."

The fierce kunoichi of Konoha tell all sisters that men are animals that need to be well controlled.

Don’t hesitate when you need discipline.

Because hesitation usually makes things worse

The time has arrived, Konoha 60th March 3th

In less than 8 hours, the genin will take another test.

At this time, the genin Nara Shikamaru finally fell asleep. He had been hesitating before whether he should lose early and pass the exam early. The exam was really too troublesome.

The Jonin Nara Shikaku was still tossing and turning. He seemed to understand what the Hokage was going to say to them today, but he didn't dare to answer the question. Who knew what would come out.
